GlossaryP-cadherin (CDH3)

protein aiding cell adhesion in tissue structure maintenance

P-cadherin is a protein that helps cells stick together, playing a crucial role in maintaining the structure of tissues, including hair follicles. It is part of the cadherin family, which are important for cell adhesion, signaling, and maintaining the integrity of tissues. In the context of hair, abnormalities in P-cadherin expression can be linked to hair loss conditions like alopecia.
